Hey Melbourne, we're doing a big live end of year Christmas show on December 5th. Carl, what can people expect? Oh man, great question. I'll field this one. Heaps of awesome guests, all of our favourite. You know what, we don't let dummies on our live podcast, so you know, we're at the home of Dumb Dumb Club in Melbourne, so it's going to be all our faves. Plus, you know what, we haven't done a specific Christmas show before,

so you know, I'm thinking Nativity Play. Ooh, I like it. Boganogan baby jesus hey don't look that's the only thing i've got written in the script at the moment all right jesus christ is that a script because you're just staring down at your crotch at the moment is that where the script is that's where i write all my best stuff it's gonna be so much fun i don't think we've uh pumped it enough on the podcast so far but yeah december 5th tickets are at little dumdum club dot com we are very close to sailing off to Adelaide. And just before that, Melbourne.

It's on a Saturday. It's the same as the last podcast. Saturday at 4 o'clock. So it's going to be party time afterwards. It's going to be awesome. Do the show. And then stick around for a drink. Yeah.

A chance to see a show and then hang around with us and just really be depressed by what we're like when we're drunk. No, no. I'm planning on being heaps of fun. I'll show you my script if you know what I mean. Cool. November 17th, in a couple of weeks, we're in Adelaide, of course. You know what?

Ticket sales, you wouldn't read about it, but they've picked up. Have they? They've picked up a little bit. Have they gone from one to two? It's a Christmas miracle, Carl. Wow. All right. Someone's just – I think the Smith family charity have just bought a ticket

just to – they've gone, oh, these guys are more hard off than us. We'll do that. Oh, cool, yeah. So go down to your local Salvos and you might be able to find some tickets on the shelves. We are a charity at this point. And then Sydney, November 22nd, we've now got first show sold out, second live podcast on sale at – what is it, five?

Five o'clock. So seven o'clock is sold out. Five o podcast on sale at, what is it, 5? 5 o'clock. So 7 o'clock is sold out. 5 o'clock is now on sale. And we've already sold plenty of tickets, so that is awesome. And then at 8.15, we're also doing a split bill stand-up show, an hour stand-up show where we're going to do half an hour each of stand-up. So, yeah, Sydney, I mean, you guys get it. You barely need – it's a waste of our breath and a waste of your time.

You guys get it. Man, I am intrigued as to how after we do two live podcasts, how the stand-up's going to go because I tend to have a couple of beers at the podcast, so I don't know how the stand-up's going to go. And it's weird that we have to mention this, but people are asking, are the two live podcasts going to be the same? No. Absolutely yes. They're going to be different shows. I'm going to write down everything I say at 5 o'clock

and I'm going to say it at 7 o'clock. We're going to have a court stenographer and then we're just going to read through the transcript in the second one.

podcasting location, Chang Towers. Chang Towers. We got room service up in Chang Towers today. Oh man, it is nice. Guys, if you're ever in Melbourne, highly recommend it. It's the only seven star hotel in Melbourne. So, if you got the big bucks, maybe if you got some big New York dollars,

you can afford, this is your home away from home in quaint little Melbourne. You know what you do? You go over to New York, you earn some money over there, then you come back, that exchange rate at the moment, you're coming back, you're loaded with butts. Exactly. Big show today, we've got, first of all,

you know her from, have you been paying attention last weekend on Channel 10? Please welcome back into the little dum-dum club, Anne Edmonds. Yay! This is a nightmare. And weirdly, she's the only guest on the show today, despite the fact we're doing it at Ronnie Chang's house. He's away, he's overseas.

The big news is that he's on The Daily Show now, so we just decided let's just break into his house and start squatting in there. Squatting, yeah, okay. No, in town for a very brief visit on break from The Daily Show now so we just decided let's just break into his house and start squatting in there. Squatting, yeah, okay. No, in town for a very brief visit on break from The Daily Show. Welcome back into the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Ronnie Chang.

Yay! Thanks for having me, guys. So should we just say this is the last time you're ever going to be on this podcast. If you're going back to New York, you're never coming back.

But I proved that's the plan. Yeah. This is your farewell tour of the Little Dumb Dumb Club. This is actually, this isn't even going to be the last time that you're on it. You're going to get back and get your lawyers on to us and this episode will never see air. Yeah, yeah. This is, I'm going to try to shut this down as soon as we get off.

Is this the first time we've ever had to have Comedy Central approve a guest for the podcast? Have we ever had that before? No, no. Yeah. We had. I had to get. Who did we have? We had Chris Rock that time. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, we didn't. No, we. Yeah. We had... I had to get... Who did we have? We had Chris Rock that time.

Oh, yeah. Oh, no, we didn't. No, we've never had anyone good on this show. I forgot. Who were you talking about? Yeah, Bill Burr. Oh, yeah, Bill Burr. But he's like bigger than you

where he doesn't have to ask anyone for approval. Oh, he's not working, actively working on the network. But also, I actually had to ask Comedy Central. I had to ask the producer, executive producer who had to ask Comedy Central

who had to ask Viacom. Viacom. Yeah. Someone has to ask Viacom. Viacom. Someone has to ask Viacom. And to get approval to do this, I had to just downplay. I'm like, hey guys, do you guys mind if I just do this stupid little Australian?

It's so small. No one listens to it. It's just some friends. I just do it sometimes. Do you mind if I just jump on this? And they're like, all right, just send us the details. Yeah, thanks for making all that stuff up,

man. Thanks for playing. We appreciate it. Man, when they find out we are the biggest thing in the Southern Hemisphere, they are going to look pretty silly. Well,

this is what we found out in the lift. The approval hasn't come through yet at the time that we're recording this. So this might never see the light of day, guys. Yeah, hopefully. So you guys are what,

the biggest podcast in the Melbourne CBD area? Sure. Yeah. There's a few out in Ballarat that are bigger than us. But if you're going purely CBD. There's a few in Zone 2 and Zone 3. There is no more Zone 3. Oh, okay.

Well, yeah. Well, then we're bigger than anything in Zone 2. David Newell's got a podcast out in Milton that's pretty big. You're welcome for the food. Yeah. We got, like we said earlier on, we got room service. We've got, what do you call these? What do you call them?

I call them New York food. Are they bagels? These are gozleme. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's Turkish. You guys, man. Yeah, I'm stupid.

It's so white. It's the food of your people, right? Yeah, sure. As long as it's not white, it's my people. I mean, you guys, you really don't know what this is? You've never had this before? I don't, no. You've never had this before?

You've never had gozleme? No. Carl is such a country white person. Oh my god. That's both true. Do you wear overalls? You didn't need to put

three white person on the end there. I had to take the bit of hay out of my mouth to actually eat some of this gozleme. Also, can you get some new pants?

I'm staring straight at Tommy Dash's jeans. There's a massive hole right where the anus is. Look at that. Look at that. Oh yeah. That has really kicked off. Look at that. Look at that. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That has really kicked off. He's got that instead of Tinder. This is my little sample that I give out on public transport. Oh, right. What's going on? Fix the problem. I know. It's because this is the only thing he's got going for him, this podcast.

That's why he doesn't have the ass in his jeans. I knew that they were frying, but until I looked down just then, I didn't realise how bad it had got. It's really bad. It's real bad. You know what? These are going straight in the bin after this. I'm going home dumping them.

Do you not look down? You never look down. Yeah, believe it or not, I don't just stare down at my own crotch all day. So believe it or not, you actually don't know your pants has a massive hole in your crotch. Yeah. I haven't been near any breezes yet today, so I haven't really noticed any fluid coming through. This is you being dumb.

Stop twisting this around on other people. Yeah, you're trying to twist it around like, oh yeah, how am I supposed to know my pants has a massive hole? Of course you're supposed to know. It's your pants. I'm not trying to claim that I'm some hero for having a rip in my pants, Ronnie. Yeah, but stop turning this around to other people. Who am I turning it on to? Yeah, you're making it sound like, oh, why should I know that there's a hole in my pants?

Of course you should know. It's your pants. You dumb idiot. Stop blaming us. I feel really bad. Yeah. Okay? Take this responsibility on yourself.

Do you have any pants? I've got other pairs of pants, yeah. Not to boast, but yeah. Okay, mate. All right, mate. All right. Why am I here? Full disclosure, we have dragged Edo out of her bed.

She said, I'm really hungover. I feel like dying. And I said, still, can you do the podcast anyway? Drink some water. I feel really bad, guys. What did you have? Why are you so hungover? I just went to like a film launch and there was free alcohol.

And I'm still like, I can't ever resist free alcohol. It's like from my youth. I'll just be like, ah! Yeah. And just have like- Waste not, want not. Yeah.

Yeah. And so I had a lot of that and then I went to Crab Lab and had more. It was a good night. Yeah. It was great. I had a fight with a couple of people.

Oh, yeah? Why did you fight? I don't know. I just, I don't know. I just felt like having a fight with a couple of people. So who did you fight? Oh, just a couple of friends.

I don't want to talk about it. I just sent him a message saying sorry. Oh, really? So you're doing the, what do you call it, the apology tour the next morning? Where you just have to go through the memory bank. Yeah. I just decided they were dogging me. Right.

But it's all sorted now? I think so, yeah. I think we've resolved it. Okay, well, good. How have you been paying attention? Good. I had fun. Yeah, it's cool. I really enjoyed it. so, yeah. I think we've resolved it. Okay, well, good. How was the, have you been paying attention? Good. I had fun. Yeah, it's cool.

I really enjoyed it. Yeah, good. Mind you, I was, there's alcohol involved in that one, too. Really? Was anyone, was Glenn Robbins dogging you on that episode? Nah, no one dogged me. What's dogging mean? Like stabbing me in the back or something.

Paranoia. Okay. Doing like a dog's act. Yeah. Take that one over to New York with you. Get it going in the local vernacular. Well, what a great step up, Anne. You're getting a lot of screen time.

It's great. Oh, thank you. Yeah, no, it's fun. It's a fun show, huh? And we've got, you know, congratulations to me and Tommy for what we've got. For having holes in your pants? Yeah. We sold three more tickets to our Adelaide gig the other night.

To be fair, Tommy's literally getting a lot more air time at the moment. Adelaide gig the other night. To be fair, Tommy is literally getting a lot more air time at the moment. Just to reiterate my stance, I am great because I have a rip in my pants. That is exactly how I feel about it. It's everyone else's fault but my own. You think you're so good. Anne and I have a mutual friend. Okay.

Yeah. Great. Tommy? Who? No, no. Remember the truck? Oh, yeah, yeah. Truck. Yeah, she's cool. Yeah. And her husband, Dave. yeah great Tommy who no no remember the um truck oh yeah yeah truck

or Amy Evelyn that's the first one that comes to mind that's the whitest name that you can have yeah this guy if it's not country,

whatever, Maribyrnong you're from, it's just like, what is this? What is it? What is flatbread? I know what a truck is. I've just never heard a lady called that. Because it's not in English. It's in Vietnamese, you stupid asshole.

They're very successful people. They've got a lot of money and stuff. Sure. Yeah, great. You've got so much money you can call yourself truck and get away with it. Yeah, get them on the phone and get them to buy me a new pair of jeans.

They're so goddamn rich. Hello, truck. How do you guys know this truck person? What's the link? Through my girlfriend. Yeah, through my girlfriend. Through Ronnie's girlfriend and a friend that I went to university with.

Yeah, yeah. Great stuff. Ronnie and I went to the same university. But like 20 years apart, yeah, yeah. And it took me five years to finish an arts degree. Yeah. But Ronnie finished his very quickly, I guess. No, it took me five years.

Really? To do two degrees. To get two degrees. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So arts and what else? I did law and commerce. We've been through this, guys. The easy stuff.

But anyway, I brought that up just because I'm sure they're very happy for you. Yeah, thank you. Thanks, Ronnie. I don't think they're trying to dog me. Oh, really? No fights with truck? You don't want to fight with truck? No, I don't want to. So why did you drag Anne Emmental bed? Because we thought she's one of our favorite guests. And you want to fight with truck nah I don't want to so why did you drag Ann Emmett out of bed

because we thought she's one of our favourite guests and you want to try and make a super blockbuster episode yeah sure

how's it going so far it's going okay I mean the listeners they've seen this in the episode description they've seen these two names

and they're just they're squealing with excitement yeah exactly they've hit up Viacom going how did you fucking sign off

on this thing yeah just don't get me in trouble please the best of Melbourne versus the best of New York you know New York's finest comedian

where's the best of Melbourne Ann Edmonds oh yeah remember her she's on the show this week she's going to Soho Theatre in London I am I'm going in January

which is awesome look at you guys with all the stuff you have yeah stuff is all going on must be hard you know what's weird is that when I'm in when I was in Montreal Look at you guys with all the stuff you have. Stuff is all going on. Must be hard.

You know, what's weird is that when I was in Montreal, I did my one-hour show there and then people would come up and say, hey, we listened to you on Dum Dum Club. Really? I'm like, why? And how? You don't think they get podcasts over in Montreal? No, I just, why would anyone listen to this? It's weird.

Do they have STD beeps at the start of the podcast if you listen to it in Canberra? No. In Montreal. What is that? You know, did you never have that thing? How long ago was that here where if you'd ring interstate, you'd have the STD beeps?

I wonder if it still happens. Like 40 years ago. For me, STD means sexually transmitted disease. No, but that was a common joke. Yes, but that's what – I don't know what it stood for. But if you rang someone in Sydney from here, they'd go, Hello. No, but that was a common joke. Yes, but that's what, I don't know what it stood for, but if you rang someone in Sydney from here, they go did, did, did, did,

did. Hello. Hello, truck. Hello, Tim. No, I'm sorry. I'm not 40. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I gotta say, I don't know why, but you use that as a reference just in conversation with me a lot. I don't know why you're so obsessed with that.

And I kind of nod along like I know what it is, but I've never personally experienced it. Really? Yeah. It's honestly not that old, is it? No, it's not that old. Yeah, exactly. I remember it. It was exciting nod along like I know what it is, but I've never personally experienced it. Really? It's honestly not that

old, is it, Edo? No, it's not that old. I remember it. It was exciting. Oh, you know what? You were just never ringing someone that wasn't in Melbourne. That's why. Like, you've never rung anyone that's out of, like, two suburbs away from you. Yeah, I've never had any cause to call anyone in Sydney. Exactly. Who are you calling up in Sydney? Because I lived

in the country. I lived in Maribyrnong, apparently. How do you even know Sydney existed? existed you got no internet back then because we went to school we learned about it oh you went to school which school do you go to don't say it maribyrnong no don't say you don't want to affect our attendance no no don't worry it's already been knocked down oh is it not destroyed oh there you go every every trace of my education is gone right but anyway so in montreal and the show, they're like, here, we listened to you on Dum Dum Club. And we're like, oh, did you used to live in Australia?

And they're like, no. We just went on tour. Yeah, great. Genuine Canadian listeners. Yeah, yeah. Awesome. There you go. We should go there for a live show.

We'd probably sell more tickets there than in Adelaide. That'd be good. Are you guys not selling well in Adelaide? We're not selling super well, are we? But doesn't that sales only pick up in the actual week of the event? Well, this is what we're learning. We're not selling super well, are we? But doesn't that sales only pick up in the actual week of the event? Well, this is what we're learning. We're learning like I literally saw – I met some Adelaide listeners the other day. They were at a spleen bar on a Monday night and they came up and went,

Hey, we're from Adelaide. I'm like, oh, cool. And they go, we are not coming. For anyone that's ever thinking about not coming to a show, keep that to yourself. Don't actually come up and celebrate the fact that you are not going Just lie Just say you're going So they'd rather come to the Melbourne stand-up show

Well, that's what I was trying to work out That's what I was trying to work out That's pretty funny Because you're pointing out that you're not going to something That's the default, is to just not go You know what I mean? You don't need to point that out We'll take that as a given

That's an embarrassing thing to bring up If that was teased out of you You'd be trying not to do that Instead of You know bringing it out In the first sentence That you say to someone Don't go

We're from Adelaide We are not coming Don't do it that way Obviously they're shitting on you right They're what? They're just trying to shit on you right I don't know It's hard to tell with us

Like people have some weird reactions Yeah Your fans are weird I can never tell if they're like Angry Or just joking around Yeah I don't know i can never tell if they are like angry or just joking around yeah i don't know i can never tell if they're weird or we made them weird yeah i don't know or you attract the weirdos or i don't know what because on your on the comments it's always like

oh there's a lot of positive stuff which is great yeah and then you see some negative stuff which i can't tell if it's serious or not yeah if it's not serious it's hilarious but if it's serious you go oh shit i do have to say we've started talking about this on the show a lot. And since we've started talking about it, I do now... It's gotten worse. Yes, but also I now do get emails through the DumDum account

where people go, hey, you know what? I've heard you talking about all this stuff. So here's a genuine, sincere message. Thank you very much for doing the podcast. Oh, that's good. I really like it a lot. That's good because sometimes you can't tell. Because you guys create such a nightmare

like toxic environment that everyone's just insulting each other and which is all fun and games in low dosage at this point it feels like

hey Viacom he's joking it's a very positive fun loving podcast at this point it feels like what we're doing is like you know

when you read about those experiments that they do in the 60s where it's just like they'd lock two separate people in a room and one of them has the power to electrocute the other one and it was just like that was like a thing they were trying to find something out and you read it and go that's fucking what a horrifying dystopia to try and create i feel like it's like those stoner people that like have a dog and then every day

on purpose just blow smoke into the dog's face every day god what the hell does that happens that's happened in marabyrnong plenty of times. Carl's mum and dad when he was growing up. You should see, speaking of messages, you should see some of the messages we get, direct messages we get on the True Australian Patriots page. Oh, yeah. Give a bit of background of what that is.

It's a fake Patriots group. So it's based on the United Patriots front and the terrible videos they make you're trying to be sort of redneck yes sort of

yeah a joke kind of racist white not white supremacist but you know not that far you're making light of a very funny subject

did you know that like do you know you can leave voice messages on Facebook Messenger I did not know that and

I'm going to play you one oh wow okay this is from voice messages on Facebook Messenger. I did not know that. And you can. I'm going to play you one. Oh, wow. Okay. This is on the True Australian Patriots page from someone called Ali Afghan. All right. Let's see a real name. Hang on.

You never hate someone. Hang on. Hang on. Oh, God. Come on. Come on. I'll go again. Hang on.

Hate someone. But they... Hang on Come on. I'll go again. Hang on. Hate someone. That day, people... Hang on. I've got to go again. Jesus Christ, get it together. I might put in some hate mail as well. Just be human, man. Have a heart.

You know, you never hate someone. Because the day you hate someone, that day, people are going to start hating you. And plus, you hate someone that day people are going to start hating you and plus put it that way man you're a

fucking fat cunt you're a full of fucking fat alright well I feel a little bit better

what was that I feel a little bit better about our podcast now so that's good I didn't know you could leave voice messages I didn't know you could leave voice messages.

I didn't know either. It's amazing. We've got about ten of them from that guy. Oh, from the same guy? Yeah, yeah. He's sticking to his message there of, like, not hating on people. You're a fucking faggot. I like that the messages you're receiving for a, I mean, it's a joke,

but it is still purporting to be a racist website, is kind of on par with the messages that we get for this comedy podcast. That's the level that we're operating on. Yeah, that's good. We're one of the better hate crime podcasts going out there. So you're on TV now, Ronnie. You're a correspondent on The Daily Show. You're a New York comedian.

New York comedian. Hey, I'm walking here. Hey, I correspondent on The Daily Show. You're a New York comedian. Hey, I'm walking here. Hey, I'm on The Daily Show here. I'm sensitive over here. Hey, anyone want some free t-shirts over here?

What's your... Free underwear? You want to talk about that? Yeah, sure. Let me just ask you this first because we've talked in the past about how your online comments for work of yours in the past or any of that sort of stuff. What are you doing with daily show stuff?

Are you going to read any of the online stuff or are you deciding to stay away from it? What online stuff? Well, you're quite sensitive about any negative feedback. Yeah, I am quite sensitive. The only difference between me and you guys is that I admit it. Yeah, I'm quite sensitive. The only difference between me and you guys is that I admit it.

Oh, I'm sensitive. Yeah, that's what I always talk about is that people just don't admit they're sensitive. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's classic Tommy. He won't admit he's sensitive. He won't admit that there's a hole in his pants. Yeah.

So you're asking me about the hate? No, I'm saying, now that you're in the spotlight, you know what I mean? You're on a bigger platform. You had access to just Australian sort of negative feedback before. Now you've got international negative feedback. Are you engaging?

Are you looking online or are you just going, I'm doing the segments and then I'm not going to check what people say? I love how you guys assume that I get negative comments. Is it possible to not get any? No, it's not. It's not? It's not. You know that.

Is this a reflection on my abilities? No, no. It's the internet, man. You're on TV and it's the internet. It's not. It's not. You know that. Is this a reflection on my abilities? No, no, no. It's the internet, man. You're on TV and it's the internet. Those two things. There's going to be someone out there who's not into it. I mean, the truth is, yeah, my first appearance here, I went to look, as you would. What do you look at?

What's your message board of choice? Are you going on the AV club or what are you looking at? I just, I was looking at, like, there are these, are these news aggregators That report And they say good stuff about me They're like Hey, Ronny Chien made his first appearance Like Junkie

And stuff like that So when there are articles like that I would just look at that And these websites Have Facebook pages So if you like Facebook page of Junkie So I'll look at that And yeah

Some of the most That's why 99% of the stuff was great And then you just get like 1% which was like oh my god it was like

the worst thing ever yeah some guy oh man some people were saying like really brutal stuff and it's that weird thing right like 99 people

can say awesome stuff and one person says something awful and you just get affected that's the one you remember yeah so to be honest

when it first aired when your first segment on Daily Show aired, I searched your name on Twitter just to see, you see all the positive stuff and then it was like, I was just looking for the few negative things to see if you went crazy

and it was like, the first negative one, I found you'd reacted to already. I'm like, oh, good. That was before, I think that one was not in response to the video.

That was just me saying, hey, I'm making my first appearance. Oh, okay. Did you see some negative stuff? I saw something negative. Okay. Because as I video. That was just me saying, hey, I'm making my first appearance. Oh, okay. Did you see some negative stuff? No, I saw something negative. Okay, because as I remember,

I don't want to, like, I don't know how revealing this is, but like, about how much I care about this stuff. But like, I think it's quite clear. Yeah, it's quite clear. Like, I don't remember a lot of hate.

I do remember one guy saying something and then I responded to it. But that was before the video even came out he was like what did he say? I think he said I said hey everyone

I'm making my first appearance on a daily show today no link to the video because it hadn't come out yet I was just saying I'm going to be on tonight please tune in and then he replied back

I'm sure it'll be about as funny as that time you made fun of Japanese people for laughing at your jokes and I was like I don't know where this is coming from because he's referring

to some very specific thing, which, and I just thought like, oh, maybe it sounds like something I would have done in the moment, you know, when you're inexperienced

and you're... Like an open mic or something. Open mic, or maybe it was in, it may have been in China. I don't even know because he, yeah, I don't know.

I don't know where it's coming from. I was very cute. He's completely racist. It was very cute at the start of that story how you pretended to not remember. You were like, oh, from it was very cute at the start of that story how you pretended to not remember

you were like oh I think it was something along the lines of and then you just recited the comment word for word then you just read the tattoo off the side

yeah so there's that but one cool thing is not cool one thing about getting that much volume of feedback

is that eventually it all becomes white noise so I think the key to getting hate on the internet is if you're gonna get hate, get a lot of hate. Right. Because then it doesn't matter. But if you get one or two- You hear that dumb dumb club listeners?

Bring it on. Yeah, if you get one or two things you can focus on it but if you get like, if you're just constantly bombarded and it becomes like, oh this is dumb. But one thing I don't understand is hate for the show because they changed the host. You know, whenever there's change there's a lot of hate and I gotta say I know I'm obviously biased

but I think the show's doing a great job like I think the host is doing great I think so you're going

on record as saying that you Ronnie Chang are better now than Jon Stewart ever was is that what you're No no I'm

saying the host the host is like no of course not of course that's the point is that obviously we're not as good as Jon Stewart

but you've been doing 20 years you're replacing someone new and then what will course, that's the point. Obviously, we're not as good as Jon Stewart, but you've been doing it 20 years. You're replacing someone new and then what will happen is that all the people who are just angry at Jon Stewart left are going to stay angry,

are going to leave and there's nothing you can do about that. Then you get new fans and that's how it is. But one thing I don't understand about the hate on the Facebook page

is like, we live in, there's literally a thousand TV channels out there, not to mention the internet so if you hate this show dude

no one's forcing you to watch it there's like 50 other things 50 million other things to watch so I don't understand people going on it

and just going oh this fucking like well this is good stuff you should do this on the show yeah well on the daily show

yeah I probably should have you ever been but you know there's this thing when you enter this world of entertainment let's say that that's what this ever been but you know there's this thing when you enter this world of entertainment let's say that that's what this is called

where you sure that's fair enough let's say this is entertainment hypothetically you sound like you're on a school camp at the moment

so before you actually entered into the world of entertaining others Ronnie yeah did you ever do any of this sort of hate that's a great question yeah

did you because you get into this world and you go hate that's a great question yeah because you get into this world and you go oh that's right everyone's like us everyone's got feelings you're not always doing your absolutely best job

so if you do something and someone goes that's a great point and I'm sure I've had hate I mean before I started internet was still

very adolescent we didn't have as much social media but I'm sure I have I'm sure I judge things a lot more critically but that's the point is that it's easier to judge when you're not making stuff exactly adolescent we didn't have as much social media but I'm sure I have I'm sure I judge things a lot more critically but that's the point

is that it's easier to judge when you're not making stuff exactly and you tell people like hey it's not easy to make stuff you try making some stuff we've talked on the show

before about how you've had letters published before you got into the world of comedy in the entertainment section of local newspapers that a listener then tracked down and sent to me

and I have to say, what a read. Oh, really? Why don't you post them? Sorry, when? Just post them. There's a very specific reason why I'm not going to post it. I would get in a lot of industry trouble. Oh, really? You hate on people. And that's not even

talking about the horribly critical letter I had published in Mad Magazine in 1988. That could end my career in Australian satire very, very easily. But speaking of that sort of like we're touching on racism, we're touching on stuff like that. Are we touching on racism? Well, yes, we were. We were because we were talking about Edo and her.

Can I tell you my favorite tweet that I ever got? Please. Negative. All right. It better be as good as my racist story coming up though. It better be as good as us watching Ronnie coming up though. It better be as good as us watching Ronnie eat some

Gozleme right now. That was nice. It said, you are in no way, shape or form funny ever. Hashtag sorry. No form,

even if you, oh, sorry. They got in on the sorry hashtag. And then he wrote, the next one is, I won't go into,

I don't want to even open up the debate of the next one, which was that women shouldn't do comedy, blah, blah. Anyway, one I don't want to even Open up the debate Of the next one Which was that Women shouldn't do comedy Blah blah Anyway But I just wrote back to him

Women Hashtag women in comedy But I just wrote back to him Like Tweet A million tweets With just

Religious shit in it Just like I am the lord The saviour The giver of life Whoever comes to me Comes under the Like

Great Just like 20 tweets Just like that at him. That's my policy. Great. I like it. Religious. By the way, Ronnie's now just filling up all our cups of water. We've got a waiter on the podcast, which is nice.

Yeah, yeah. This is New York style. I brought my own water. That's what you're supposed to, when people are gassing your home, you stupid idiot. I just hang out with a lot of unsavoury types who don't show any degree of hospitality. Very nice of you. I was at Spleen the other night, the same

night that I got the Adelaide information. Sorry to interrupt your eating and not paying attention to me. I am, I am. I was at Spleen the other night, the same night that I saw the Adelaide people. And at the end, we do a thing.

If you've been to Melbourne, if you've been to Melbourne on Monday night and you've been to comedy at Spleen before, you'll realise. Here's what I do. This is part of what I do at Spleen. I will stand at the front door with a metal bucket and because the show's free to get into, people come out and put five bucks in, put ten bucks in, put nothing in, whatever, their donations to sort of pay the MC and stuff like that.

So I'm doing that at the end of the night on Monday night. And this older guy, I reckon 55 to 60, he comes out with this very big British accent and sort of started putting money in but went, hey. And I went, sorry, what was that? And he goes, oh, sorry, mate. And without the accent, but he went sorry mate but i am just a massive homophobe and i was like why would that come from and then i thought of who the last act was and it was a gay comedian that was the last act he was like sorry mate i'm just a massive homophobe i'm like okay and i'm like i'm pretty busy people are sort of streaming past and

putting money in and i was like okay but he just wanted to keep hanging around and he just kept trying to talk to me as I'm busy and I'm like he thinks you're like him like he's seen you

and gone this is a brother in arms no I don't think so I'm sorry what does he mean by I'm sorry I'm a massive homophobe what's he trying to do I think maybe that was

after he'd said look that was a great show except maybe the last bit maybe that's what he was trying to say what do you mean the last bit was there like some like I just said

there was a gay comedian oh sorry yeah yeah's what he was trying to say. What do you mean the last bit? Was there like some... Like I just said, there was a gay comedian that was on the bus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he was going, yeah, and there's all white noise. People are coming past and then he just leans in again. He leans in again and goes,

I'll tell you what, mate. Where I'm from, they would have bloody strung him up. I'd string him up. And I went... Jesus. And like I said, he's had this big British accent. I said, and he goes, where I'm from, you'd string him up. I I went, and like I said, he's had this big British accent.

I said, and he goes, where I'm from, you'd string them up. I said, and where are you from? And he goes, Perth. Okay, all right. So that's something I didn't know about Perth. There's some terrible English people in Perth. Yeah. Are you sure it's English though?

Because some Perth accents are very English. No, no, no. This guy was very, very, very thick accent. It's full of British people and white South Africans over in Perth. Yeah. It's a bad town. Yeah. Oh, he just shut up.

Anyway, we've just been there, so we don't have to really pump him up too much. How are the shows in Perth? They're great. Yeah. You know what? Perth audiences come out for events. Yeah. And they pay money and they come out.

I'm sorry. I love it there. No, but yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Perth is great. We had a great time in Perth. Very thankful audiences. They don't get everyone over there all the time.

So it was awesome. They're very much nicer than say their eastern pals in South Australia, just for example. Sure. Maybe the absolute opposite. No, Perth was very nice. We had – you know what? That's not fair. Adelaide has the second biggest

Fringe Festival on the planet. They come out. They don't come out for your little show off-season. Yeah, you're right. I did a show

off-season in Adelaide as well and they came out. It's weird. I couldn't get them to come out. My people, my manager was like,

I don't think we can get them to come out in the numbers they'll come out during Fringe. Because my idea was like, I don't think we can get them to come out in the numbers they'll come out during Fringe. Right. Because my idea was like, let's just do the shows that we're going to do at Fringe, but do it outside of Fringe.

Yeah. And for some reason, there's some synergy with Adelaide where something about it, you just don't want to come out until it's Fringe and then there's too much stuff to watch and then they come out.

Yeah. But when you just do something off season, they're a little slow to come out. Yeah. I think I'm just going to do Clipsil next year instead of the Fringe. Oh, really? Yeah. Just do a few laps in my you're a little slow to come out. I think I'm just going to do Clipsil next year instead of The Fringe. Oh, really? Yeah.

Just do a few laps in my car. Sell tickets to that. Probably go better than any comedy show I could do. Shake the bucket at the end when you cross the finish line. Going back to that story, that's an incredible thing to admit to in this day and age. Sorry, man.

I'm just a massive home phone. Yeah. And the old string them up story at the end as well. Because, yeah, exactly. And then to have that accent and then pin it on Perth as well. Yeah. Everything about that was wrong. Because that's the whole thing with people that are intolerant

is that you never hear them, no one ever goes, yeah, I'm a big old racist. Like it's always, no, I'm not. I mean, I'm fine with whoever, but just don't do it around me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what was his game? What was he wanting out of you in this? That's my question.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know whether he wanted me to give him some compensation out of the bucket. I honestly think, and I know you don't want to hear this, he's looked at you and he's thought, this is a secret. No! Why would you say that to someone unless you think they're going to be like, yeah, me too. Why would you say that about me?

I don't know. Why would you stick that on me? I don't know. I'm just trying to find an answer to this story. That's a crazy thing. It's like me and my jeans. It's a great mystery.

Is there a rip? Isn't there a rip? There is. What does he think I'm going to say? Like, you know, I'm clearly the person who's organized the gig right.

Like, I've been up in between the acts going, hey, welcome to the show that I've sort of organized and whatever it is. And then I'm at the back at the end and then he's gone,

you know, whatever. That's what people do. And then I'm, what am I supposed to say oh yeah they slipped through the net sorry I wasn't watching properly I was there

I don't think you realised but you did say that you're like just so we're clear the last act on I didn't want them on yeah I did country tours

of Ann Edmonds like road show of Ann Edmonds road show no you did a country tour of Ann Edmonds yeah with Ann Edmonds road show no you did a country tour of Ann Edmonds yeah with Ann Edmonds and we go out

and then after the show there's always I was I was irritated by it by how look like 90% of them are great they come out

and they're cheering all that and then after the show there's always like one person every road show there's one person who comes up

and just goes yeah you were great you were great you weren't great and you were good and you were terrible and this woman and such and they start giving you tips on how to do comedy if you're a woman it's like any tips and I I didn't get it because after the show I'm always like I'm in my own world and I you know you're back in your darkened room with the shoeboxes on your feet then I would hear you're on a plane of back to New York the girl the girls on tour would. Yeah, exactly. Then I would hear... You're on a plane back to New York already.

Yeah. The girls on tour would always tell me about it so I would stick around and listen for it. Right. And every time it happened, I would just come and be like, yo, you don't know what you're talking about, please just get the fuck out of here.

She has been doing comedy way longer than you have. So I'd do... It was ignorant stuff, just the most irritating stuff. The worst is when people try to tell you how to do your job. So what you're really trying to say is Ann Ammons did not do well on this tour.

That's what I'm getting at. No, no, no. What I'm saying is when I try to tell you how to do your job. So what you're really trying to say is Ann Ammons did not do well on this tour. That's what I'm getting at. No, no, no. What I'm saying is when I was with Ann Ammons, I would observe it. It happens. Yeah, it happens a lot. Sorry, I'm relating it to this guy. If he is a country dude, as he seems to claim to be, I mean, I don't know. I think it's safe to say he's from a country.

Yeah, yeah. He's trying to bring down Perth. I mean, he's clearly spent 60 years of his life in England. And then he's come over. Bringing up gay people. Well, maybe he was fine until he got to Perth. Maybe Perth just turned him. You know, maybe he was. What a thing to, yeah.

How did it end though? How did it end? Did he leave or what? Oh, but like honestly, when you say something like that, you really don't care what the other person thinks of you if you're saying that. So I'm like, if I say, I'm like, A, stunned, and B, going, well, this guy's capable of anything. If he's volunteering that, then is he? And he was sort of a biggish guy as well.

So I was like, well, you're all of a sudden, you know, if I look at you the wrong way, you're going to go, I hate white people too. Bam. Good point. Good point. White cause conflict. Yeah. He's not going to change his mind.

Yeah. Yeah. If you beat him up, you're probably. And I got his money by then. So I'm like. Exactly. Done. I'd love to Yeah He's not even gonna Change his mind Yeah And beat him up You're probably And I got his money by then So I'm like Done He's terrified of gay people

Yeah I'd love to shadow him for a day Like what's your life like If you're just Throwing that out To veritable strangers And not caring about The response at all

Yeah God it must be A wild existence Yeah At that age as well To go Oh I'm scared of things That are 40 years younger than me that have nothing to do with me.

Yeah, yeah. That I'm literally at the moment 50 feet from going, oh, I don't like this. Was he drunk? Were you drunk? No, I wasn't drunk. He may have had a couple of drinks. It was in a bar. It was in a bar.

Edo's drunk now. She's got some things she wants to say about people she hates as well right now but you're in new york runny so it's exciting you're living in the most exciting city in the world where there's no racism where there's no bad people where everything it's like utopia it's the best everything is the best hey i'm homophobic over here hey you're gay over there hey i'm trying to get homophobic over here. Hey, you're gay over there. Hey, I'm trying to get strung up over here. Yeah, it's cool.

Cool city. Honestly, I've been working day and night. I haven't been able to actually see much of the city. There's no Ronny Chien guide to New York yet? It's building. It's building? It's building, but it's impossible. There's too much shit. There's too much stuff going on.

Yeah, yeah. There's too much stuff going on. Yeah, yeah. There's too much stuff to catalog. Hey, I'm okay with anything over here. Dot com. Seriously, what neighborhood are you living in? I can't disclose that information. Oh, really? Really?

Are you living in the sewers with Splinter? Yeah. I had an interesting security briefing my first week at the Daily Show where they told me not to disclose too much information. Oh, dear. Yeah, yeah. Because, not just me, but people who I know because they're going to try, for example... Was the specific briefing, don't say anything on the

Dum Dum Club because all the fans are assholes and will track you down? There was something about that. Not about talking to haters and stuff. Like, don't engage them. The security briefing was intense because they're not trying to get to you. They're trying to get to... And when I say get to I don't mean mentally

Emotionally affect I mean Get access They want their story told So let's say they want Jon Stewart to tell their story Because Jon Stewart Has a lot of eyeballs on him

Well they should add a lot Because he's not there anymore Well If they still want to Get to Jon Stewart They'll go Hey Trevor Noah probably

Knows Jon Stewart So I'll get to Trevor Noah To get Trevor Noah To pass a message to Jon. I can't get to Trevor. How am I going to get Trevor? Oh, Ronnie's the correspondent. Oh, I'll get Ronnie to pass his message. I can't get Ronnie.

How am I going to get Ronnie? Look at his Instagram. Oh, he's got kids in this school. Oh, I'll go to this school and pass a message to his kids. Wait, you've got kids? Wait, wait, wait. Is that another thing they told you not to say? Because you sort of fucked up.

What are your kids' names? For example. When you say their story, they've got a grievance that they'd like him to cover or something. Yeah. Something like that. Or maybe they don't disagree with one of his opinions. Yeah. Okay.

Right, right, right. Anyway, so there's a security thing. Wow. Yeah. A few years ago when I was in New York, I went to a taping of The Daily Show. Good for you. What else is going on? I went to a taping of The Daily Show. Good for you. What else is going on? I went to a taping of The Daily Show and the warm-up guy does a lot of stuff

and he goes, okay, now John's going to come out before the show and he's going to do a bit of a Q&A. You can ask him questions. Now, look, don't put your hand up and ask him if you can have a job or how you get a job here. There's ways on the internet of finding that out. Don't waste his time because everyone thinks they're going to have this great idea where they're in front of him

and this is how they're going to get hired to be a writer. So just don't do it. And then a young Ronnie Chang put his hand up and that is how he got there. Then Jon Stewart comes out and literally the first guy

puts his hand up and goes, so let's say that hypothetically someone wanted to get a writing job here on the daily and everyone on the crowd just goes, oh, you miserable Pete.

Did the whole crowd groan? Yeah. That's funny. Because the person who hears that warning and goes, no, but this is. Did the whole crowd groan? Yeah. That's funny. Because the person who hears that warning and goes, no, but this is how you get ahead in business. You don't play by the rules. You hear that warning and Jon Stewart's going to go, you know what?

Everyone else is too fucking gutless to break the rules. Come into the... Write some stuff for me right now. Let's go. Because that's what you want in a small writer's room. You want someone annoying. Then what did Jon say uh he i think that must happen a fair bit i would say so he had kind of a pretty standard he had a he had a little toss away kind of joke that was like funny sort of put the guy down a little bit while still being polite and essentially saying just go look it up on there's submission guidelines on the internet

if you really want to do it write some shit and send it in. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, I didn't end up getting the job. Yeah. But hey, anyway, I've got some jokes here that I've written. If you could just pass these on to Trevor when you get back there. Pass it to Trevor. Yeah, I've got some for Jon Stewart. I just want him to read it by the pool. Yeah, yeah.

Can you get us to meet Eric Cartman? Is that possible? Yeah, sure. Can you just put this podcast on next time you're back there, when you're in the office? You know, just play this to the guys in there. What do you? Yeah, sure. Can you just put this podcast on next time you're in the, when you're back there, when you're in the office? You know, just play this to the guys in there.

What do you reckon? What do we do? Yeah. Honestly though, honestly speaking, when it came out, when the news broke that you had the job,

how many people from your life back in Melbourne and stuff, how many people kind of crawled out of the woodwork to hit you up to go? No, it was nice.

Everyone who, no one crawled out of the woodwork. Everyone was super nice and supportive it was very nice it was very touching I got to announce it on my birthday

which was special 52 or how old are you now I can't tell I'm about 40 right now so I knew a week before the announcement and then I had to

kind of that was an embargo and it was on my birthday it was an embargo it was lifted a press release came out on my birthday in London

so it was nice I was like away from home. And you're a good keeper of a secret. You're very good. You are. You are. You're very good at just like, you won't say anything. You won't say anything at all.

Like no one knew you were going to be here in Australia this week. You literally, going back to Spleen again, we were backstage. The door opened. You walked in and went, hey man, can I get on? Is this a fucking hologram? It was like you'd faked your own death and it was like, okay, now the scam's all done.

I can re-emerge into the world. Yeah, I'm not working on a daily show at all. I've photoshopped all that stuff. Thank you for the spot. Yeah, thanks for the spot. I appreciate it. I don't know how to... The guy at the end didn't really appreciate it.

Who was the guy? Oh, that was the night? Yeah. Same night? Wait, were you last on? No, no. I was like, wait, was it me? How Same night? Wait were you last on? No no I was like wait was it me? How did you know I was gay?

So I didn't even talk about it Like yeah I don't know I'm very bad at social media I don't know how to do the Like hey everybody I got some life changing news I'll tell you guys next week I hate that shit I wish that you'd done that

For just a week in the build up. Pretty amazing news coming next week, everyone. See, that's not my style. The worst. It's not great. It's the right way to be. You know what? If you're listening and that's your style, cut it out.

Hey, but you know what? Maybe that's why they get an edge that we don't. Maybe they promote themselves on social media in a way that we don't. If only you had an edge where you could have some. Yeah. I mean, like that guy you said Who raised his hand And asked for a job Like you know we're all groaning And we're like this fucking guy

Because you know we got Presumably other stuff going on But I mean if you don't Maybe you know I don't know Maybe that's your shot You're right man And there is a lot of stuff Where you talk about

And this is very inside industry sort of talk like, you know, some people that try too hard or appear to try too hard, you sort of go, look at this guy. But it's like, on paper, what's so bad about asking for a job or asking for things or whatever? Yeah, like even outside of comedy, like any big business or anything, the people running it, they didn't get there by being a wallflower. Yeah.

Oh, wait, my turn. Yeah, because it doesn't happen like that in any other sort of industry thing. Like you're not an accountant sitting there going, I'm adding these numbers up really good. I'm going to assume someone's just going to walk into this accounting firm and whisk me away to New York. So there's nothing wrong with hustling. Yeah.

I think Instagram is the devil's work. Oh, really? Instagram. Instagram's awful on there. It's people. It's a hard platform for comedy. But it's just, what do people's lives mean? I'm scrolling, I'm looking at, I've got to get off there. Like, just the falseness is profound on there. Look, I can't help but feel that this is a dig at me crying at this new Star Wars trailer.

No, no, no, no. It's just like, I don't help but feel that this is a dig at me crying at this new Star Wars trailer. No, no, no. It's just like, I don't know. It's just people, the projections of people's lives on there are just. But don't you think Twitter's worse than Instagram? No, I reckon Instagram's the worst. Really? I think Twitter's way worse than Instagram. Okay.

All right. I think for comedy, Twitter, you can write a little joke and put it out there. But Instagram is just photos. What are you, just putting up joke photos all the time? Yeah. It's just the look at – I just know some people on there, I know their real lives and I know what they're posting and the disparity is huge.

But that's all the – every platform on the internet is that. It's like here's how I want to be – this is what I want people – if you've ever gone through like a breakup with someone and you see their social media, it's a lot of like, oh, great night out with the girls getting plastered and it's all that thing of like, hey, I want this person

to see this and know that I'm doing fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not talking from personal experience or anything. Oh, shit. Great night out with a girl. Yeah.

Yeah. So I lost a lot of weight recently. Yeah. You're looking very good. You have, Ronnie. You're looking gaunt. Are you alright? Yeah. So I lost a lot of weight recently. Yeah. You're looking very good. You're looking gaunt. Are you alright? Yeah.

Real life. Are you living in New York or Philadelphia? Hey, I got HIV over here. But in Philadelphia it would be different. That's in New York. Yeah, but you went to Philadelphia. You got it there and then you're back. The home of AIDS.

I watched Philadelphia for the first time on a plane. It was a great movie. I've never seen it. Would you recommend it? Yeah, sure. Tom Hanks is always good. What would you recommend I do first? Watch Philadelphia

watching Lord of the Rings on the plane. Yeah. Return of the King. Yeah. Is there enough memory space on the plane to watch Lord of the Rings, watching Lord of the Rings on the plane. Return of the King, yeah. Is there enough memory space on the plane to watch Lord of the Rings, all the movies? What are you watching three-hour movies for? Oh, no, no.

I just watched Return of the King. Right. Which bit's sad? The sad part is when the... What's his name? The King of Rohan? Oh, yeah. The old guy?

The sad bit's when you realise you're never going to have sex because you're watching Lord of the Rings Yeah Speaking from personal experience What are you talking about? You can watch You can like fantasy, sci-fi

And still have sex I'm not sure you can Yeah, you're not sure Yeah, of course But until you do it Everything seems impossible Would you like more Philadelphia or Dallas Bars Club?

Which one's better? Oh, good question I don't know It's hard to pick That's hard I can't pick What about Philadelphia or Dallas Bars Club? Which one's better? Oh, good question. I don't know. It's hard to pick. That's hard. I can't pick. What about Philadelphia or Lord of the Rings?

Oh. Which one had more AIDS? I think Lord of the Rings had more AIDS. Hobbit AIDS. Gollum's got something going on. Yeah, that's not good. He's not doing well. The King of Rohan. You know the guy who gets frozen by the snake tongue guy?

Yeah. Snake tongue. What's his name? Wait, is this in Philadelphia still? No, Lord of the Rings. Did you watch Lord of the Rings? Yes. You probably didn't.

I did actually. Oh, you did? What made you watch that? It's not your favorite movie. I know. It's just like I had a girlfriend at the time that was really into that sort of stuff. And so I got dragged along to see all the Lord of the Rings. And I saw the first two Star Wars prequels, which is one of the things I'm least proud of in life.

So you watched Lord of the Rings and you didn't get laid no wonder no wonder you have that yeah no wonder I have these bad impressions

attached to those movies because you keep dating awful people while you're watching these movies sure but your current Dee is awesome

I love Dee Dee okay that's a new word for her why are you we shouldn't be convincing you to marry Dee we should be trying to convince Dee to leave you Dee is awesome. I love Dee. Dee. Okay, that's a new word for her. Yeah. Why are you... Yeah. We shouldn't be convincing you to marry Dee. We should be trying to convince Dee to leave you.

Because she's a much better person. Hey, I'm doing my best. What about you? What about you? That relationship's kind of a hostage situation at this point, isn't it? It's a game of chicken. That's what it is. And I'm playing the chicken So yeah

I'm very happy to be the Andy McDowell to your Gerard Depardieu. This made me laugh a lot. Your references are all there. This made me laugh a lot, Ronnie, on the day that you announced the Daily Show news. I saw that you tweeted. Who was it? It was like the US consulate or whoever you go through.

You tweeted them saying, thanks for the visa. Yeah, yeah. That made me laugh a lot. Yeah, yeah. That's the sort of social network sucking up to people I don't like. Are you still doing – because the first time you were ever on the show, we talked about how we used to see you. You'd pop up on Facebook and you would comment,

great, on all of Bill Clinton's posts. Are you still doing that? I would if I got there in time. Right. Because you were trying to be the first. You're always trying to be the first to say great on all of Bill Clinton's posts. Because if you – let's say you like a very popular page, to be the first You're always trying to be the first To say great On all of Bill Clinton's posts Because if you Let's say you like a very popular page To get the first comment

Is very hard So you have to write something Just That's not stupid You don't write first comment So you're like Great Great

And then you get the first comment How many times did you get it? I got Maybe once Alright Maybe once I just love the idea now That people can go back through

All those old Bill Clinton posts And see you there And be like I'll be damned if that's not that guy from Comedy Central. Yeah, no wonder he got on Comedy Central. Are you just not doing it now because Viacom have to give you permission to go like stuff on Bill Clinton's page? Pretty much, yeah. I have to get permission if I like anything on Bill. Also, shout out to Jim's, what's his name?

I can't remember. Jim's Mowing. Is it? Yeah, Jim's Mowing. Jim's Mowing. Who's that? That's not his name, James Mowing. Isn't that what you're giving a shout out to, Jim's Mowing? The company. Yeah, Jim's Mowing. Jim's Mowing. Who's that? That's not his name, James Mowing.

Isn't that what you're giving a shout out to, Jim's Mowing? The company. Oh, no. Mowing company. Oh, no, no, no, not Jim's Mowing.

Oh, I was just trying to help you out. There's this James guy who every time I post something on my Facebook page, he says, great. I'm pretty sure he's from Tom Tom Club.

A shout out to that guy. There's a lot of those dudes. I can't remember what his name is, but he's been doing it for like three years now. Great dedication, man. Great.

You are great. Yeah, you need to go onto his page and you need to give him a great just to blow his mind. Yeah, he's a great guy. It makes me laugh every time he does it. Well, speaking of absolutely nothing to do with this, but part of the reason that we're here in Chang Towers tonight is because you have a special guest uh gift that you uh have promised or you told me a while ago i talked about it on the show and now you're

going to give it to us you have got you are presenting us with what ronald chang uh i've got a lot of clean used underwear yeah yeah that it's a it's a real shame to throw away because they're in very good condition because for years i've struggled to find well-fitting underwear that actually doesn't ride up into my crotch. And I've experimented with a lot of different types. As you can see from this bag, I've experimented. So a lot of this I've worn once. Okay. That's good to know

actually because I'm not a big fan of it. As Carl started that intro, you took a pair out of the bag and you gave him a good sniff Just to check I don't know It's the one thing I don't No I can understand that

It should be second hand I understand But here's what we know about Ronnie That he takes a shower After every single time He takes a shit Really So you know that they're gonna be

Even though they're used I'm sorry to hear that There's gonna be No chance that there's Any kind of residue on there Yeah Let's guarantee There's no fecal remainder

Which also makes me think How how do you people live? Yeah. If you guys, so what, your underwear is just full of shit? No, he's got a hole in his pants. It just comes straight out the jeans. Yeah, I mean, look at me. How do you think I live? It's not good over here.

That's literally a poop chute right there. That little hole in his jeans. Yeah, so I know it's kind of gross, but I just hate wasting. You don't seem to know that at all. No, I'm well aware that this is unconventional, but I'm just saying that I hate wasting stuff. And this is really good condition stuff. So you know what?

Whoever wants it, you don't have to take it. Don't be forced into taking it. But if you feel like you could possibly wear second handwear, then go for it. And if not, we'll throw it away. But why not give things a chance to breathe instead of putting it straight into the ground? I agree.

Now, last time we did a big Melbourne show, we brought along your t-shirts, the same sort of deal. You were actually, I guess that's what you were doing. You were cleaning out your house

and we didn't know at that point. You were just giving away all your shitty t-shirts. I can't believe I'm having to say this to a guest, but you realize

that we're not the Salvation Army. But you guys are so useful as the Salvation Army. Because I need to get rid of all these clothes to a good home. And that clothing

actually meant a lot. I wish I was there to see it go away because I wore that stuff in university. I was known as wearing like joke t-shirt guy. Oh, you? Really? That's why I had so many. I was like wearing joke t-shirts every day.

Right. You had about three different ones that were references to Shakespeare. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You had a couple of Star Wars ones in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would have been fond memories of not getting laid for three years. Sure. But yeah, so.

So everyone took all those t-shirts and now it's the, and I mentioned this later on, but now it's the next, the next level up. Oh wait,

we should say on the t-shirts, didn't someone, didn't someone just give one to their dog? Yes, I saw that. A whole bunch of photos of their dog wearing

a t-shirt. Because everyone took a t-shirt and then, then Ronnie was hitting me up going, you're so fucking stupid. Get some t, get some photos of

these people in the t-shirts. All I wanted was get some photos of these people in the t-shirts all I wanted was some fucking photos of people in those fucking t-shirts I said this on Facebook so I don't know why you're getting that

what does it sound like to you when people do what they think your voice is back at you it sounds I can do you doing me do it Ronnie

why are you fucking stupid why don't you go back that's what it sounds like when are you going to start doing it not to just steal to lift stuff

from another podcast, but you and I did Josh Ell's podcast a while ago. I just want to hear you do it again. Can you do your Australian voice for me? Oh, my Australian voice? How do I do it? What was I saying? You said, g'day, mate.

Oh. G'day, mate. Oh, wow. That's great. Is that Wolf Creek? No, that was from Big Buck Hunter. You know you can just get Australian from us. You don't have to get it off

an electronic game. Yeah, I know. But I don't know how to talk like you guys. Say this, Ronnie. I am so hungover. I am so hungover. No.

I can't do it. Nearly there. I've lost you to it. I am so hungover. I can't do it. What about this? These jocks are great. These jocks are great.

That's pretty good, E.G. These jocks are great. So what we're going to do is… It's better with beef. What? It's better with beef. It's better with beef? It's better with beef.

With beef. Oh, you said beef. It's better with beef. Beef. Doi stoj. Is that on a like that game as well? Doi stoj. Is that on Young Einstein, the pinball?

Dude, you're from the 70s. So how are people going to get these underpants? Well, you're from the 70s. So how are people going to get these underpants? Well, good question, Ann Edmonds. Thank you for coming along today. Thank you for asking. Yes. Ed, I just want to leave.

She just wants this to be over. She wants it to be over. She does. So we're going to bring these along to Adelaide. This is your idea. Yeah. So this is,

I don't know why we're going to reward people in Adelaide, but no, I mean, we should because they're the few people who are buying tickets. I feel like now people are just going to be sitting in a room with used underpants. People are going to send their tickets back. Yeah, people-

And sales are going to go backwards. The people who haven't bought tickets are like, thank God we didn't buy one. Thank God we didn't. Yeah. For the listener, Ronnie is now modeling the underpants for us. He's completely de-robed and he's doing a little dance in his pair of- Are they all Calvin Klein? Yeah, they're mostly Calvin Klein.

That's good stuff. That's a good brand yeah that's why it's a waste I'm with you let's just do what we can if it's too gross we'll throw it away

yeah yeah exactly why are you getting rid of them? but I suspect these will go pretty quickly knowing your listeners I actually think this is actually the Salvation Army

won't take this so you know what you guys are worse than the Salvation Army we've got lower standards than the Salvation Army won't take this. So you know what? You guys are worse than the Salvation Army. We've got lower standards than the Salvation Army. Basically. The shit that I can't get past is the Salvation Army. Guys, if you have any hard rubbish at home, bring it along to our live shows.

Please. Give a couch that's been broken. It doesn't even have to be hard rubbish. Just give us food scraps. Just give us off meat. We'll get rid of it for you. Imagine someone bringing their white goods. Yeah, one of those old fridges that's been taped up

that no one can ever use again. Hey, you guys are so full of bowel and hatred. If one good thing comes out of this podcast, shouldn't it be the conservation and reuse of resources? To be fair, a lot of it's self-hatred. So it's not normal hatred. I've just moved house. I don't have a fridge or a washing machine yet.

So you know what? If you're listening and you've got one to offload, get in touch. Mr. Norman, Harvey Norman, if you're listening. Why don't you get some new pants before you prioritize? Yeah, sure. You want a TV? Why don't you get some pants? If you've got a size 30 pair of Levi's lying around, let me know.

Instead of all his underwear, don't you have any jeans that you can give away? It'll never get to the listeners. It'll just go straight to Tommy. Yeah, Tommy. Do you want some pants, actually? Yeah, give me some pants from a couple of months ago when you were fat. You guys keep talking. I'm going to get some. Yeah, I got some pants from when I was fat. Yeah.

Give me your fat man pants. I'm going to take your fat man pants home with me. Oh, man. Anyway, if you've just tuned in, welcome to The Biggest Loser. I like to think there's a perverted listener that's going to get those underpants and put them on and take a poo in them and then just... Oh, and say, this is how it's done.

Yeah. Like that whole fetish, underwear fetish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are washed, so I don't know what you're going to get. No. Unless you're jerking off the dynamo. What are you going to get with that?

Yes, here are my fat pants. Yeah, what have we got? I got your fat pants. We got a... What have we got here? Size 34. PDI Jeans Company. We got a 34. That's too big for me, man. Yeah, what do we got? I got you fat pants. We got a... Size 34. Size 34. PDI Jeans Company. We got a 34.

That's too big for me, man. No, it's not. And also here's some jeans. God, Ronnie, how much weight did you lose? How many kilos? I lost like 13 kilos. 13 kilos? What were you doing running?

What's that being all... Thanks to the Dum Dum Club. The last time... I think the last time I was on, I got abused. Yes. Yeah, and that's... I think it was Tommy. No, it was me. That was you, yeah. It was time I was on, I got abused. Yes. Yeah. I think it was Tommy. No, it was me.

It was you. Yeah. And so. Were you a 34 then? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And my next,

I think I was a 34. Is it about, is it food or exercise that's done it? Food. It was mainly just, I stopped eating sugar. You're blaming that on, you just stopped eating because of us. We caused you anorexia.

Is that what you're saying? I'm not blaming you on anything. I'm just saying that in my case, fat shaming works in my personal case and then Carl kept going at me and I was like,

I need, I defeat Carl in every aspect. He just has this one thing over me. I need to get rid of that and so I spent, I spent three months

just every day just like hearing Carl's voice. I have a lot of similar things where a lot of similar things where a lot of my motivations for doing things is to get this

fucking asshole off my back. So that's why I actually think you guys should start monetizing this instead of letting easy, you know,

just a dum-dum club fat abuse or something. It's not even white. It's just every aspect of my life. It's like, I'm going to get this in order and then it'll be fucking sorry. That's every first step

of everything I do now. Because if Carl is insulting you on something, you know he's bad. Yeah. Because look at him. So if he's insulting you, you're like, God damn it, I can't have this fucking bum. So what you're saying is between you and Dilruch, we have collectively lost about 25 kilos in the last couple of weeks.

Our guests are all just wasting away. So fat celebrities out there, if you want to lose some weight, please, you're welcome. Book in the Dum Dum Club. Get in here. We will set you on your way. Let's try and get Dave O'Neill skinny by the end of next year. No one fat shames anyone more than he fat shames himself.

So, he's kind of worked out the secret. Do you have any criticisms of me, Carl? I think you're too pretty in a way. Oh. Yeah. So now she's going to go destroy her face. All right.

Should we wrap this up? I think, so what are we doing with the underpants? We're bringing them to Adelaide. We're bringing them to Adelaide.

We're going to put them on a plane. By the way, do not send me photos of this one. Yeah. Just take them I don't want to know

what you do with them take videos of your naked genitals going into the underpants and send them to at Ronnie Chang on Instagram Ronnie's just clearing

his house out as we speak he doesn't want to bring these underwear because they're full of anthrax he can't put them on a plane

so now we're just giving them away from now on send photos of yourself in the underpants to the head of Viacom pass it down the ladder to Ronnie Chang

yeah get every piece of underwear signed off by Viacom. You should sign a couple of these. Have you got a texter still? No. Still. Well, I don't know if you've had another podcast in here this morning and given away all your pencils and pens. No, I would sign them, but I've got to go.

We'd better wrap this up. Ronnie has a daily show. It's all right. It's cool. Nice office job. Great question, Ed. It's alright. It's cool. Nice office job. Great question, Ed. Thanks for coming. I think it's important

that I was here. Yeah. It was. It was. You helped balance out the stupidity. Yeah. Somehow you came off

looking better by saying nothing. What do you got, Ronnie? What do you got? Are you going to be hosting the main stage of the St Kilda Festival next year or what?

I'm doing... Can you stop trashing that festival? That's where I met Ronnie. The St Kilda Festival. The St Kilda Festival. You can't trash a festival that doesn't exist.

I'm doing Canberra and Sydney tomorrow and day after tomorrow. And then I'm doing Sydney again in November. But I think it's all sold out. Okay. Good stuff.

Okay. Well, so, you know, but come along, go backstage, go out the back of the theater in November. Do not do that. And Ronnie might have gone through another couple of pair of undies by then, so, you know, get something else off him.

But yeah, watch Ronnie. It's on, he's on The Daily Show, and that's, I guess that's on... Is that on here? Yeah, it's on Comedy Channel. It's on Comedy Channel here. Oh, okay, that's why I've never seen it. Yeah, exactly.

So, check out that. Check out Ronnie. That's another thing that happens. It goes, oh never seen it. Yeah, exactly. So check out that. Check out Ronnie. That's another thing that happens. It goes, oh, you're on? What show are you on? Yeah, I've never seen that. I was like, well, I wasn't trying to brag about it. I'm sorry.

No, because I don't have Foxtel. It's all right. Don't watch it. No, actually, no. No, no, watch it. I like that Trevor now. He's funny. Yeah.

So hopefully, and hopefully, this is about the time of year where people put their stuff together for the next year's Melbourne Comedy Festival. Fingers crossed you'll be back, Ronnie. Who knows? Yeah, who knows? Yeah, who knows? What you're essentially saying is, I hope you get fired. No, I hope to see my friend again one day.
